Shoutout to the old guy at the coffee shop who said my climbing line looked 'tired'

He was a retired lineman, pointed at my 11mm rope and said 'that core's singing a different tune than the cover, son,' which made me actually inspect it and find some serious internal wear I'd missed.

Maybe it's just normal wear for the rope's age.

Ugh, that's a scary thought, isn't it?

That fray looks pretty deep though.
